Queen singer Adam Lambert boasted that he's romped with very famous fellas who unfortunately feel they have to hide their sexuality.

The 33-year-old refused to identify his high-profile lovers, but he did say: "I've been with a few of them."

The American Idol graduate blames Tinseltown's macho culture for preventing folk from expressing their true sexuality, suggesting it stops many stars from coming out of the closet publicly through fear it may harm their career.

When quizzed about why they felt the need to disguise their sexual preferences, he told Glamour magazine: "Whether it's music or acting, you've got to remember that those industries are primarily run by men, so maybe it's about that."

Before truthfully adding: "But with women being the primary moviegoers and record-buyers, surely it shouldn't matter so much?"

Word. It shouldn't matter at all.

HUNK: Adam shot to fame on American Idol [GETTY]

Hopefully with the prominence of openly gay celebrities such as Adam and Brit singer Sam Smith – as well as movie A-listers Jodie Foster and Ellen Page – the entertainment industry will become more accepting.

Adam Lambert shot to fame on the eighth series of the US talent show, his astounding vocals made him a worldwide sensation and now he performs in place of the late Freddie Mercury with Queen.

He also told the mag he'd slept with a female for the first time.

"I think women are beautiful – and I always notice when girls smell really good. Like most gay men, I'm drawn to confident women… I've slept with a woman before.

"I did it for the first time when I was 29. It was a random thing but I was very curious. It felt great."
